Important instructions

Now that we got these facts out of the way, the road is clear for you to learn how to actually unroot your HTC Desire HD. All of this with the aid of the easy to follow guide below.

  1. The method we shall use starts like this: download the Official RUU archive in a dedicated directory. This action once completed, a second one comes, telling you to plug the handset into your laptop; the USB cable that comes with the phone will enable this procedure, so use it well.
  2. For step number two you need to execute the RUU file using the method we always employ: double click. This will mark the beginning of the flashing phase, after whose completion you have to spot if some instructions appear on-screen; if they do, follow them as they are laid out and everything will go smoothly.
  3. The ROM will begin to flash and you can do what step number three instructs you to (once the flashing ends). Which is this: unplug the two devices one from the other the minute the unrooting firmware is on the handset.

These being said, your HTC Desire HD has just been unrooted! See the pros of this procedure on your own.
